Spiritual Art?

theist · May 3, 2002

Satsvarupa's Art exhibit left me a little troubled for some reason.

Be sure to click on the one titled Something Is Happening but You Don't Know What.

That title sums up what this exhibit left me thinking.

I am curious as to any analysis anyone might care to make.

And don't skip the scultures.

"So far in ISKCON only realistic portraits of gods, saints, and demons constitute art. Children's art is acceptable only if children do it and sign their name and age in big letters.

This marginalization doesn't depress me as long as I can work profusely and express my visionary peace, joy, and passion in being.

Thank you for listening. Hare Krishna."

It's not the type of art I'm use to looking at, but he seems sincere.

Yeah, I quess a couple of them just freaked me out.Especially the one I mentioned.But some others were upbeat.Not good art IMO but that's relative.

I liked them; I give the gallery a "cool" rating. Especially liked the Tied Down sculpture. Perhaps the Goswami is encouraging us all to paint.

It was certainly more presentable than my Chaitya Guru cartoon skateboarding superhero series.

Dasa, out of the 70,000 who have seen those super adventures, you and I are likely the only fans who can vote. Let's hope the kids take Johnnie's advice and seek the Path always; their lives will be miraculous!
